Protective Life Lowers Term Life Insurance Rates

Protective Life lowered term life insurance rates by as much as 20%.  They also have a feature on their term life policy which allows you to select a monthly payout instead of a lump sum or a partial lump sum with the rest being paid out on a monthly basis.  This further reduces the premium.  For example, if you want to leave 1MM to your beneficiary, but you prefer that they receive 500k up front and then the rest in monthly payments, you can do so and it will cost less than if they received the full 1 million up front.

PruTerm WorkLife 65

PruTerm WorkLife 65 is a different kind of term policy.  It offers guaranteed protection until the traditional retirement age of 65, no matter when you buy it.

In addition, at no extra cost, PruTerm WorkLife 65 will pay your premium for one year if you become unemployed.  This can be a valuable benefit when you consider that nearly one in 10 American workers is unemployed today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics as of September 2010 News Release.

PruTerm WorkLife 65 will also pay for your premiums if you become disabled at any time up to age 65.  Three of 10 Americans will become disabled before they retire, according to the Council for Disability Awareness website, “Chances of Disability,” as of November 2, 2010.

Your premiums are guaranteed and will not increase before age 65.

Conversion privileges are available up to age 65 without additional medical testing.

Age Last Birthday Advantage:

  • Most life insurance companies calculate your insurance age by your nearest birthday.  So, if you are 65, but you are closer to your 66th birthday, they will calculate your rates as if you were already 66. 
  • Prudential uses your actual age to determine your life insurance rates.
